Oh man what am I going to do.

 

Completed: Painted the bathroom blue (was brown/gold), installed new lighting and towel bars, and also new knobs on the tub

 

1. In the pic if you look straight back you can see grey. The wall around the toilet I removed the drywall and I am installing denshield then I am going to be tiling (6x6).

 

2. Going to also tile inside above the shower (3 sides 35x35 inches)

 

3. Install new faucets

 

Thats all pretty minor remodel

 

Hey quick question since your a plumber. Its hard to explain (ill attach a pic) but I have a delta tub faucet. The knobs were thise cheap clear ones. Well I bought replacement handles. I installed them (that was an adventure haha) well they wont line up. Where the stem goes into there are 2 small cutouts on the copper pipe where it fits well those need to be moved. Any idea how to do this. See attached pics of how the knobs are uneven

 

Thanks!

Those hot and cold valves are actually separate pieces so you can loosen the retaining nut on the under side and turn the whole body a little bit either way to make the handles line up, then tighten the nut in that position. If you can't get to the underside you should be able to loosen the trim ring (chrome piece against the tub surface)

 

The supply lines from the valves to the spout are flex lines or soft copper so they will have some flex to them.

Thats what I was thinking but I havent had time to try. To many projects going on at once. Cant wait until this is all over (probably will never be) and I can enjoy the house. I bought it in January and from then until now it is a totally different house.

Well if Cleveland ever stops this Seattle-like late spring weather pattern, I'll start thinking about cleaning and sealing my floor again.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By newdude · Posted

      Survey says yes based on the first engine to be released for the Gen 6 engines, the LS6 in the 2027 Corvette.   LS6 has DFM.  Lifter QC and construction has been improved (better/larger locking pin).  Bottom end has dual oiling circuits instead of one like on the gen Vs.     The internet (i.e. Facebook) sleuths saw that patent for a rocker arm cylinder deactivation on a pushrod engine and is running wild that all of the Gen 6s will have this when so far...none do.     Service manual, parts catalog, etc. on the LS6, its got 16 active lifters and has DFM.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      I toggled my updates off a couple of years back. Since I don't have any CEL activity and the truck runs fine I'm happy to refrain from rolling the dice. I figure they've got it as good as it's gonna get. Recalls are another matter and I will strongly consider those if I get a notice in the mail.

      We'll know soon. But at the end of the day they'll likely not take owner aggravation and costs into consideration. Probably the most important factor to them will be bottom line, along with units sold. Did they make money off sales of AFM/DFM-equipped vehicles? If yes, and the margin was large enough in spite of warranty and recall costs, I don't know that they will consider much else. Aside from government involvement of course, as in EPA and other regulatory bodies.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      HM oils and cleaning. Well, soft deposits yes, perhaps. Like you say esters are present in in theory that should be a plus. But, is there enough? 🤔 The marker is the "Aniline Point" and it has to be pretty low to solve out baked on deposits. The softer sludge, yea, they do that and that is the claim. Valvoline R&P is the only HM oil I know of (Jury is out on Mobil 1's product) whose chemistry is uniquely able to remove the hard stuff and not be so aggressive as to swell seals to uselessness.    Oxidation levels in virgin oils blends is a good indicator of ester level and higher is generally a lower Aniline number and at one time we could predict without the $400 aniline test it's effectiveness. AN's, alkylated naphthalene doesn't show up in the oxidation test but does show in the aniline test and has become sort of a cheaper go to but most oils only add enough to solve the additive package. Not nearly enough to clean the harder carbon materials.   To your second question about does it matter. Yes is the short answer. Deposits are insulative. Those under the piston crown for example add octane requirement for knock free running. We don't' normally notice in todays motors due to Knock sensor driven ignition R-e-t-a-r-d. At least until the full slate of available values is consumed. Newer motors also often use oil jets to cool the piston to achieve tunes that would otherwise not be possible. Deposits on either side subtract from that. Deposits in fine screens used in VVT/VVL or DFM/AFM services live and die on cleanliness and screens are front and center. Vacuum pumps as well like brake booster in the K2's.    90% of todays oils are Group II+/III blends. A few more at PAO/AN/Group II's. A few boutique oils not Walmart shelf materials have enough solvency to prevent but not remove the hard stuff. R & P the current exception. Even HPL's EC30/40 used as directed (20% max) will get the soft stuff and some varnish out but not the hard stuff.    That orange varnish isn't baked on oil. Those are fuel varnishes left when the fuel diluted in the oil drops out when the oil cools. Like sugar does in a saturated mix of sugar and water that is put into the frig. That is ring sticking material and a glue the binds hard carbon sometimes.    Name brand shelf oils are intended to provide a useful service life at the least cost and highest benefit to the OEM who is trying very hard to keep you in $500 a month payment programs where the real money is made.   Did I miss anything you asked or left unsatisfied?

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      Yes, I understand. And I was saying (poorly), that it popped up on the DIC when I didn't have that info screen up. Just like you, but for a different maintenance issue. And just like yours mine didn't need to be shown at that time.
